I am attempting to replace my pool pump with one of yours but need to know if the pump i am ordering has everything I will need. I am ordering the 196329-20 to replace that same part number on the current pump. My contractor says I will need to be certain that the motor has a 1.5 inch or larger suction and outlet and return port?? Does this part?? Thanks

No. This is a replacement motor which do not have suction or return ports. You would need to order a complete pump which means that you would need the complete pump model in order to locate that.

I'm trying to replace the motor on my pool pump but all these numbers and abbreviations on the motor label are really confusing me. What do they mean?

Why should I purchase a Tune Up Kit?

A
Answered on 1/12/2012 by
InyoPools Product Specialist Patrick P.

A Tune Up Kit includes all of the essential replacement seals and gaskets for the pump. The seals and gaskets should be replaced when installing a new motor on your pump. New seals will prevent the pump from leaking water or losing the prime. A Tune Up Kit will protect your motor and ensure that the pump is working efficiently.

Why do I need to purchase a new shaft seal?

A
Answered on 1/12/2012 by
InyoPools Product Specialist Patrick P.

We strongly recommend replacing the shaft seal. The purpose of a shaft seal is to prevent water from running down the shaft of the motor and into the motor housing. Water will damage the bearings and cause the motor to fail. A new shaft seal should be installed whenever a motor is replaced. The motor manufacturer can deny the warranty if the motor fails to due to water damage from a faulty shaft seal. To find your shaft seal you will need to visit our Pool Pump Parts Page or the Spa Pump Parts Page and select your make and model.

What is Service Factor?

A
Answered on 1/11/2012 by
InyoPools Product Specialist Patrick P.

Service Factor(SF) is a multiplier that when multiplied by the horsepower of the motor indicates the total permissible horsepower loading that may be carried when the motor is operating at rated voltage and frequency. The most important thing to remember when replacing a motor is that the replacement motor's horsepower times its service factor must be equal to or greater than the original motor's horsepower times its service factor. The Service Factor rating can be found on the motor label. See Step 4 of our How to Read a Pool Motor Label guide.

Excellent Pump Moter Replacement

Reviewed By:PoJo
from Clarence, NY
(9/8/2009)

Pros: Awesome fit - excellent replacement

Cons: none

Tip to get the impeller off the old pump moter: use a 7/16" open ended wrench - it slides in near the capacitor on the electrical side... rotate the impeller until the wrench slides into place at the end of the shaft and then one person holds the motor and the wrench while a 2nd person loosens the impeller off with bare hands by turning the impeller counter clock-wise.

Twice the pump was delivered with damage. However, the problem was resolved and the final pump was received in perfect condition. It was replaced and now works. I am very happy with the product and am especially pleased with the customer service. Do not hesitate to buy from INYO Pool.
